TRUE TO t)TJRSELVES,/PJJR JJEIGHB ORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. Fprty-Third Year Established June S, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C, THUS SDAY, AUGUST 10, 1944 Number 10T i ii' Washington, D. C., Aug. 7 (NWNS)—The notice given by the director of our nation’s rubber program that he will resign on September 1 because he has com pleted his job is something in the nature of a history-making event When the war started and our supply of natural rubber was cut off, the rubber industry went to work to perfect and manufacture synthetic rubber. At that time it was estimated that if all went well, within two or three years we might have enough synthetic rub ber to fiU normal needs. Now Col. Bradley Dewey, head of t***! program, points out that tHiw goal has been overreached, that our nation is now entirely independent of the need for crude rubber. And, having brought his program to this happy state, Colonel Dewey recommend ed the office of rubber di rector be discontinued. If this is agreed to, this will be the first wartime agency voluntarily to surrender its wartime power. Submitting figures on the rub ber program, Colonel Dewey said that output is now running at the rate of 836,000 long tons annu ally, which is about 250,000 long tons more than our average im ports of rubber before the war. Thus we have conquered, with interest, one of the greatest prob lems which faced industry when war was declared, -f By far the biggest problem fac ing the government right now, heart to the war itself, is the com plicated job of drawing the blue prints for conversion from war time to peacetime manufacturing. St is estimated production of war materials will be reduced by as much as 40 per cent, as soon as the war in Europe is won. Al though this gradual change over - LJ. ■Hmjbijwiiii to normalcy will be welcomed by the American people, it can ' also mean a 40 per cent decline in employment unless steps are taken immediately to plan a quick conversion to production of civilian goods. It is quite possible sible, following the defeat of Germany, that the size' of our armed forces can be reduced, which will mean more men look ing for jobs. Aware of the importance of having a practical plan ready, more and more congressmen are favoring Senator Vandenberg’s o- Mt.

Take a few minutes off-drive out to TheJ) heat the V ine ga r, w a ter, ali Another of our Food Conserva tion Methods is pickling—and :io cellar or pantry is complete with out some of these pickles and relishes on its shelves. They are wholesome food only when prop erly made and have a place in th^ diet. They stimulate the appetit • and give zest to many a meal that might otherwise be commonplace. Here’s the caution, though, adults should use them in .limited a- mounts and they should not be served at all to children. Perhaps the most popular pickle is the “Bread and Butter”. It used to be eaten between but tered slices of bread; hence its name. It is made from the once “lowly”, but, now the wartime “-expensive” cucumber. You may have many of them and you’d like to make some kind of pickle. Well, we recommend the “bread and butter” peach and universal pickles to you and here’s how to make it. Bread & Butter Pickle Take 5 medium / cucumbers, 3 medium onions, 1-4 cup salt, 1 cup vinegar, 1-2 teaspoon celery seed, 1 cup water, 1-2 teaspoon mustard seed, ginger, 1-4 tea spoonful tumeric and 1-2 cup white or brown sugar. You will wash the “cukes”, slice them in thin slices, peel and slice onions. Combine “cukes” and onions, add salt and let them stand two hours. Rinse well.
